In version 1.99.4, socket-timeout was added to start params, which is very
needed to tuning socket.settimeout in rocket.py. The default value 1
second often lead to " <class 'socket.timeout'>(timed out) " error in a
slow network,such as WAN than LAN.
But in widget.py line 557:
parser.add_option('--socket-timeout',
default=1,
dest='socket_timeout',
help='timeout for socket (1 second)')
lack a type to cast this param.Should be:
parser.add_option('--socket-timeout',
default=1,
type='int',
dest='socket_timeout',
help='timeout for socket (1 second)')
This bug lead to deadly exceptions(see below) when set "python web2py.py
... --socket-timeout=60 ..." in start time:
